IN OUR MOTHERS’ GARDENS celebrates the strength and resiliency of Black women and Black families through the complex, and often times humorous, relationship between mothers and daughters. The film directed by Shantrelle P. Lewis and released by ARRAY, pays homage to Black maternal ancestors while examining the immediate and critical importance of self-care, and the healing tools necessary for Black communities to thrive. (Streaming now on Netflix)


With a title that gives a nod to Alice Walker's "In Search of our Mothers' Garden", rayo & honey was commissioned to create a capsule collection of pennants with phrases pulled from some of the incredible women featured in this film.

"I come from glamorous, BEAUTIFUL women. STRONG women! CUSSING WOMEN! 
Women that had proverbs in their mouth."  - Mama Koko

 "I believe my grandmother tells us she loves us now because we brought it to her attention that sometimes it was questioned. She couldn't believe that it was questioned.
She says LOVE IS A VERB, and I show it to you. I've been showing it to you for 86 years." - Tina Farris

 "You give anyone from Louisiana, whether they dead or alive; in this case, this is the deceased...
-- give them some okra, corn, onion, some rice, and some fish, somethin'... They eatin good!
And but most importantly for our ancestors, they just allow us the opportunity to say we didn't forget. 
Cuz' FORGETTING IS THE TRUE DEATH!" - Mama Koko

 "That's the women I come from; horse betting and passionate women. Passionate WOMEN WHO KNEW SPIRITUAL THINGS"  ." - Mama Koko
